Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring period of time is at regular intervals of 5 seconds to 2 minutes.

Plain English Translation

This invention describes a method for providing air quality notifications. A portable air quality monitoring device features an air monitoring module (with a gas sensor and a gas actuator for inhaling gas to obtain VOCs data) and a particle detecting module (with a fine particle sensor and a fine particle actuator for inhaling gas to obtain PM 2.5 data).
